Historic Kirkland property moves

The Nettleton Mansion, a historic Kirkland property at 400 State St. that from 1931 to 2005 operated as a funeral home, has moved -- to a different part of the property.

Instead of demolishing the home to make way for a new 25-unit housing development (single family condominium-style homes), property owner CamWest Development decided to move it about a block to the southwest corner of the lot.

Built in 1914 by former Seattle Post-Intelligencer publisher Clark M. Nettleton, the home was designed in the “Southern Colonial Revival Style,” which, according to the city’s planning department, is quite uncommon for the area.

From 1936 to 1996 the family of Chester and Agnes Green operated the mansion as Green’s Funeral Home.
